Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today : space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit.

We are seeking a Senior RF / DSP Engineer to architect, design and develop algorithms for the next-generation of high-performance phased array systems for use in mission-critical, high-reliability environments. You will develop algorithms necessary to solve a wide range of (digital signal processing) DSP challenges. The ideal candidate brings a deep background in digital beam forming and active electronically scanned arrays for communication systems.

This person will also serve as a single thread leader for the development of RF communications systems and software defined radios (SDRs) for Blue Origin’s spacecraft. You will lead a multidisciplinary team for development of these RF systems from early concepts to product prototypes to initial flight units. In this role, you will leverage your understanding of SDR and FPGA hardware, firmware, digital signal processing and algorithms, and software for both transmit and receive paths. You and your team will develop custom software that will enhance our target radio performance by taking advantage of aspects of the protocol as well as the physical layer attributes. This position will report into the In-Space Systems RF Comms team.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to :

• Develop, execute, and manage the plan for the design, development, test, and qualification of software defined radios (SDR) and other RF systems for spacecraft communications
• Research and design of DSP algorithms in MATLAB.
• Develop hardware implementations of the DSP algorithms in Simulink based on floating-point MATLAB simulations and validate results against MATLAB implementations.
• Generate fixed-point implementations in Simulink and compare against MATLAB implementations ensuring performance requirements.
• Support implementation support for target hardware.
• Generation of test vectors to support testing by the digital design group.
• Own the performance of the DSP algorithm implementation on target platforms (FPGAs / ASICs).
• Work with digital designers to realize power and area efficient digital implementations.
